Sorry i know this is kinda off topic, right now i've encountered 2 selection, which is ATI 9800Pro and ATI 9800 Pro All in wonder.
Now i've went to the following web site for both vid card:
http://www.newegg.com/app/Vie[....]?description=14-102-286&depa=1
http://www.newegg.com/app/vie[....]TT=Video+Cards&CMP=OTC-B1zrat3
Ain't the All in wonder suppose to be a lot more expensive than the one that's not AiW? but in the web site, 9800 pro sells for $233, while AiW 9800 pro sells for $238. Any suggestion?

The 9800s getting older now, I believe there was somewhere else doing cheaper AIW 9800 pros as well so it could just be retailers clearing out of stock.
It's a good deal of you're after an AIW card, my AIW 9800 pro has died one me one week out of its one year warranty, I am missing it!

how did it gone dead? by overclock it too much?
The thing im concerning is the actual performence of the AiW, if take those 2 cards into consideration, one wiht AiW and one without, do they have any difference at all regarding to game play such as EQ2?

Do consider an x800 pro/ultra or fx 6800. the x800 is one helluva chip. I'm using one, and gotta say makes playing DOOM3 a real pleasure. (gotta get 52 inch HDTV to play doom3
in about a million years if i start saving now!!!) Anyway, consider it.
Also, Pls. Move this post to 'Mobile Phone Free Zone' of general discussions.

Why not buy an FX Series NVIDIA 128 MB card, Almost all game manufactures recommend use of NVIDIA.
Personally speaking no doubt ATi makes one of the best video cards but I used both found my Nvida G-Force providing me better colours,output in all.
Secondly, My friend bought a 9800 Series ATI Radeon card, can u beleive it..his card blew up in 3 days..Faulty Fan Mechanisim on the card...

Geforce fx really sucks when it comes to real world, its sm2 performance is really bad , it can only be used to play opengl games. But i must admit geforce 6 is way better than geforce fx . Ati has strong shader performance , 9800s are way better than fx5950s .

shyam, is ge force 6 available in cochin, at least have not seen it onshelf here in new delhi...!
You need a great video card for good..no no awesome games and stuff...ATI is best used in systems that are either developing games or CAD developers..The argument is just like AMD Athlon vs Pentium 4..Just a matter of choice; Quality/Economy/Performance..
They are equally good both the NVIDA FX series 128 MB card and ATI 9800 series...
As it is we don;t so High end systems that we can notice the significant difference in both the cards.

@dj I belive geforce6 available with xfx and asus (not many buys it though) . I think you didnt get my point , feature wise geforce fx is rich,but not performance wise.Ati had lead at the time of fx and 98xx,they(ati ) won a lot of d3d games & benchmarks.I belive many gamers have ati cards not devs alone.But the newer games like farcry,doom3,hl2 really test the old gen cards (with eye candy features like aa & af on),so we should see a difference,may be not so big,yea,it might not be even noticeable. :-)
